Ohabi Caleria's Archers (EDH / Commander) [Revisão 62]

Archer tribal commanded by the Elven Lady Ohabi Caleria, ruler of northern Argenti.

Lore:

Off the west coast of Madara lies the Edemi Island chain, which is composed of two large islands: Argenti, and its sister-island, Kusho. Argenti and Kusho were coveted by Emperor-Planeswalker Nicol Bolas, but were never conquered due to the rebellious and freedom-loving nature of the Edemi people. Argenti can be divided into two major areas, the northern plains and the southern forest.

The plains in the north are home to the city Lisu, where the Elven Lady Caleria presides over the north. Caleria is a skilled archer and huntress, known for her prowess in battle and stalking game on the plains. She shares a name with an ancient Elven goddess of the hunt, though whether she IS this goddess or the goddess is simply her patroness is unknown.

The dense deciduous forest of the south is protected by Lord Magnus, a powerful human druid who abodes in the Sylvan Library. Magnus sacrificed his humanity long ago to become one with the forest, an avatar of wild nature who is plant, fungus, bacteria, and bits of every animal. Magnus presides over the Sylvan Library, which is one of Dominaria's leylines of Green Mana.

The island's coasts are all sheer cliffs, save for the southern coast, which means that access to Lisu is impossible without traveling through Magnus’ forest. Since Magnus is capable of animating the vegetation of the forest and influencing its wildlife, attempting to traverse the forest without his leave is suicidal. Lord Magnus and Lady Caleria are old allies and friends, however, and the two allow free passage of their people through both realms. The elves and humans of Argenti Island live in relative peace and prosperity, ever vigilant and ready to defend their home and their way of life.

Kusho is the smaller of the two Edemi Islands. It is primarily a large plain, crisscrossed by a tangled web of rivers, creeks, ponds, lakes, and tributaries. Largest and most prized among these is Shima Pond, the waters of which contain abundant healing magics. The island is surrounded by an enchanted species of coral which grows at great speeds, overwhelming ships and feeding upon their crews. The island also has a series of subterranean caves, long used by Kusho's inhabitants for shelter during storms and attack alike. Many evergreen trees have been transplanted from Argenti to Kusho, thanks to the efforts of Lord Magnus and Lady Caleria. Magnus uses these trees to communicate with the Kusho, hoping to forge stronger alliances between all the people of the Edemi Islands.

The deck includes Lord Magnus as a rule 0 wishboard for Vivien, Arkbow Ranger's ultimate if opponents are cool with it. As can be read in the lore, Lord Magnus was a powerful ally of Lady Caleria, and it's cool if he can be called upon to assist Lady Caleria to defend Argenti.

Additionally from the lore (see link above), an archer-nun among the Robaran Mercenaries called Sister Wilemina was said to worship Lady Caleria. She is represented in the deck through the card Robaran Mercenaries, and in the sideboard there is also a custom made card for Sister Wilemina that is included for extra flavor. However, if I manage to cast Robaran Mercenaries, this action will make Sister Wilemina available as a possilble wishboard for Vivien, Arkbow Ranger, if opponents are cool with it.

Note that the new Legends retold version – Ohabi Caleria – is an alternative commander for this deck that can easily be switched. She is included as a sideboard option for my main commander.
